LEADERSHIP
We’re family; cousins to be specific. Together we have more than 30 years of experience working in the youth sports marketing segment. We love the idea of sports, the setting that surrounds the “big-stage,” the dedication required, the effort needed, the emotion.
We’re passionate about the platform of sports and the connection it demands. It builds loyalty and creates trust. It captivates. The audience cares about the participants, the schools for which they play and the brands that support their cause.
